    What is the most conceptually terrifying/horrifying kind of magic?

    What magic/supernatural ability would terrify you the most if it existed? Not just, what would cause you to be the most afraid in the actual encounter, like fear magic or something, but what power would, by it's mere existence, horrify you to the point of nightmares? To the point where you'd...

    How do you explain "magic"?

    Here's how it works in the world I'm building. The Void, the barrier that insulates the multiverse from Primordial Chaos, is infinitely empty, and simultaneously infinitely full of energy from said Chaos. The soul exists outside of physical reality, near this boundary, and is connected to the...

    What’s some weird ‘magic’ you've read about, or imagined?

    A world where magic is cast using language, different languages have different strengths. The more people who believe in the 'power' of a language, the more power it has, but every user of that language drains power from it, making the most powerful magic come from languages that everyone knows...

    What’s your take on kill systems in web novels? (i.e., any mechanism where the MC gains power directly from killing, like leveling up, etc.)

    I don't hate them, they certainly are convenient, but I hate when killing is the ONLY way to get xp. Or if you get xp for killing even if your class is unrelated. Crafters should get xp from crafting, not combat (well, maybe acceptable if they're using what they crafted to fight). You should get...

    Tf going on with everybody adding 'representating'

    Deadly Sins post, then people started changing their name to be like Envy, and from there it cascaded.

    Which comes first, the theme or the story?

    It depends on WHY you're writing. Some stories, dystopia stories like Fahrenheit 451 especially, often start with the message they're trying to get across first, and work backwards. But not all stories are made to send a message, I'd think MOST stories start from a place where the writer is...

    Why I blink and everyone is suddenly representing smth

    You were invited, you just didn't show up! There was a post asking what Deadly Sin/Remedial Virtue everyone was, along with a poll

    The sin/virtue that describes you the best is...

    I am primarily of Pride, used to also have a decent amount of Wrath but I'm better at managing that now, not insignificant amounts of Sloth, a hint of Lust but it's repressed so who knows exactly how much, and a lack of impulse control for sugary items meaning slight Gluttony. My Envy is within...

    How would you confuse an all knowing being?

    Not necessarily. Just because they know it will happen doesn't mean they will choose to prepare for it, they could let it happen. Why? Well perhaps because it knows that if it doesn't let it happen, then something worse will happen. It is only one being, with a limited scope in what it can do...

    How would you confuse an all knowing being?

    The problem is, they are not obligated to answer. No, the solution is simple. Punch them in the face. Or hit them in the head with a baseball bat. They know everything, but they are not immune to being concussed, a symptom of which is confusion.

    How much would this influence you?

    Hmm, might interact with my plurality weirdly, form a new sense of self, so my personality might literally change, just, temporarily. It's unlikely to change my fundamental morals or beliefs, but the perspective might be helpful for me to learn about how other people work and adjust my behavior...

    Would you send a bad person to solitary confinement?

    Personally, I believe the opposite, evil isn't in the deed, but the reasons behind it. Stealing because you're starving, vs stealing because you want some extra funds to buy a fancy phone are very different. The only evil deeds are the ones that, by their very nature, have no possible...

    Would you send a bad person to solitary confinement?

    I don't like those odds, and 'bad' is too light, even if the chance was 100%. I would only be willing to condemn someone who was evil, and that is a very solid and important distinction to me. There are some things that are bad but understandable, perhaps justifiable, something done by a person...

    What are the things you hate the most?

    Irrationality, Deception, Subservience, Blind-Followers. Fairy-Dark. Or if you mean in a romantic partner, then primarily dominant, fit-but-not-bulky women with wit, a kind, gentle soul, and a hard, serious, protective exterior. Destiny Bond. Or, overanalysis into thought processes and...
